Sobre este artículo
Shamrock Publications, 2000. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Authors signature and message "Hope you enjoy reading these written bits and pieces of a part of my life..."-Owners signature crossed out on next page. Sixth printing.If you haven't read Almost a Lifetime you have missed a wonderful story. These are true experiences of a young man's journey, starting in the springtime of 1940 and almost ending too soon on a wet February night thirty months later. John McMahon was aboard an aircraft that crashed into flames and left the only survivor of the seven-man crew. McMahon's detailed and fascinating account of his experiences is a profound testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.Equally exceptional is his account of a terrible ordeal in the early winter of 1943. With thousands of his comrades he struggled on foot over 400 miles across a frozen landscape. Had the unknown woman not entered this story, the author's chances of survival would have been nil, and this graphic narrative wold not have been written.John McMahon's story is all the more compelling for its recognition of the humanity of people, male and female. on both sides of the hostilities. McMahon and his comrades found humor in adversity, laughter in the face of boredom, compassion in pain, and dignity in their determination, both individually and collectively to survive.The clarity of the writing will engulf and capture you. You will feel you are participating every step of the way in an experience you will never forget. This book will make you laugh, cry and feel sad when it ends, because you will want more.
